Michael Hayden, the former director of the National Security Agency (NSA), warned Thursday that impeaching President Donald Trump would have unintended consequences and could further delegitimize the intelligence community.
Hayden, a frequent critic of President Trump, told Hill.TV’s Krystal Ball and Buck Sexton that he believes “impeachment would be a bad idea.”
“If President Trump is somehow forced to leave office before the end of his first term, one-third of America will believe it was a soft coup conducted by people, well frankly like everybody here at the table would be their view,” Hayden said. “I think the only way we move beyond this in any way that’s healthy for our democracy is we vote,” the Obama-era intelligence official added.

Impeachment for WHAT?!?!?
I know. Median apartment cost in SF is $4500, though.
Soft coup. Hard war.
My relative was a high-ranking officer in the Marines. I frequently asked if he were given orders to arrest and/or shoot Americans. He said that he would. And that was before the multiple false flags were put into play, and MSM went full-on Marxist.
All the government has to do is label someone a “terrorist,” no matter what s/he looks like, and the sheeple will follow along. Look at the stormtroopers in Boston who stole people’s guns. Or New Orleans. Or in any airport where TSA is molesting and irradiating good people. Or anywhere else where the sheeple won’t lift a finger for their God-granted liberties.
And the USAF has long not been on the side of ordinary Americans.
There are fewer Marines than NJ state government workers.
“—Someone who can do basic math”
We have a small number of people on FR who believe our military will blindly follow orders like Himmler’s Eisengruppen. I get real tired of these people inferring that our people in the military are potential Gestapo murderers.
However, we are not even considering all the other armed Marxists, such as dwell in the National Park Service, the EPA, the IRS, etc. etc. All are leftists, all willing to torture and murder US citizens. And even the smallest PDs are militarized and can use all sorts of weapons for crowd control.
“My relative was a high-ranking officer in the Marines. I frequently asked if he were given orders to arrest and/or shoot Americans. He said that he would.”
Okay...
Was his name Col. Robert Russell Garwood?
Yeah maybe so. The sequence of events looked a bit too slick.
Not lately.
You can add together all the military, govt and police and you would only get an "Army" of 2 million or so. That is a joke. And if cant understand that get math book and start reading it.
It not even that, it’s the math. There are only 200,000 Marines. That is a joke when you think about the size and scope of the entire USA.
I worked for a paramilitary federal agency for a decade, not that that makes any difference for your insults.
Did you do anything about the Patriot Act or TSA when those were being used to molest and irradiate ordinary Americans?
Did you go out in the streets to protest DeathCare, taking time off from work and family weekly?
Did you protest the NDAA?
Do you know what drones are?
Do you know what DEWs are?
You had better get a book and start reading about how many types of weapons the USA now possesses, that would easily level any playing field that Wanna Be Keyboard Rambos think will be so easy to take.
Have you ever fled from a Communist country? Do you have any idea the kind of scalar weaponry three countries in the world now possess? Have you ever had relatives murdered in Siberia? Have you ever had good Christians stand down, run away, not shoot at tyrants, and allow 20 - 100 million other Christians to be slaughtered? The Communists are here and the exact same thing happening that my family fled from, thinking the USA was a “beacon of light.” Everyone was armed in the country my family fled from, but no one wanted to be the first to fire a shot. Not one difference from what has already happened here and will be happening even more so, since the sheeple all have their excuses for not getting up off their couches.
You are no mathematical guru, you are clueless. The standing Army would not even be a foot note in the history of any CWII. I would say in a general Civil War II scenario the number of military, and army troops would be 10,000,000. And that is low estimate.
Have fun with your insults and planning your big war and thinking you can take out those in charge. I don’t engage with warmongers. No wonder I stopped coming to FR, way too many politeness-challenged types who do not know how to answer even one question without an insult.
You don't believe there are 19 GOP Senators who would vote to convict Trump today?
I bet there are 30.
>> unintended consequences
No doubt
How many deplorables facing a terminal illness would love to go out in a blaze, taking out this cast of characters from the swamp? If they impeach and remove Trump, thousands.
Trump: I could ‘shoot somebody and I wouldn’t lose voters’
Ok, ya got us there. That is why we voted for you!
